WHAT IS IOT?
➢ According to the Internet Architecture Board’s (IAB) definition,
IoT is the networking of smart objects, meaning a huge number of
devices intelligently communicating in the presence of internet
protocol that cannot be directly operated by human beings but exist
as components in buildings, vehicles or the environment.
➢ According to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
organization’s definition, IoT is the networking of smart objects in
which smart objects have some constraints such as limited
bandwidth, power, and processing accessibility for achieving
interoperability among smart objects.
➢ According to the IEEE Communications category magazine’s definition, IoT is a
framework of all things that have a representation in the presence of the internet in
such a way that new applications and services enable the interaction in the physical
and virtual world in the form of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication in the
cloud.
➢ According to the Oxford Dictionary’s definition, IoT is the interaction of
everyday object’s computing devices through the Internet that enables the sending
and receiving of useful data.
➢ The term Internet of Things (IoT) according to the 2020 conceptual framework
is expressed through a simple formula such as:
IoT= Services+ Data+ Networks + Sensors
HISTORY OF IOT
The Internet of Things has not been around for very long. However,
there have been visions of machines communicating with one another
since the early 1800s. Machines have been providing direct
communications since the telegraph (the first landline) was developed
in the 1830s and 1840s. Described as “wireless telegraphy,” the first
radio voice transmission took place on June 3, 1900, providing another
necessary component for developing the Internet of Things. The
development of computers began in the 1950s.
Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs at MIT,
was the first to describe the Internet of Things, during his 1999
speech. Kevin Ashton stated that Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) was a prerequisite for the Internet of
Things. He concluded if all devices were “tagged,” computers
could manage, track, and inventory them. To some extent, the
tagging of things has been achieved through technologies such
as digital watermarking, barcodes, and QR codes. Inventory
control is one of the more obvious advantages of the Internet of
Things
ADVANTAGES OF IOT
Improved Customer Engagement − Current analytics suffer
from blind spots and significant flaws inaccuracy; and as noted,
engagement remains passive. IoT completely transforms this to
achieve richer and more effective engagement with audiences.
Technology Optimization − The same technologies and data
which improve the customer experience also improve device
use, and aid in more potent improvements to technology. IoT
unlocks a world of critical functional and field data.
Reduced Waste − IoT makes areas of improvement
clear. Current analytics give us superficial insight, but IoT
provides real-world information leading to the more
effective management of resources.
Enhanced Data Collection − Modern data collection
suffers from its limitations and its design for passive use.
IoT breaks it out of those spaces and places it exactly
where humans really want to go to analyze our world. It
allows an accurate picture of everything.
DISADVANTAGES OF IOT
As the number of connected devices increases and more information is shared
between devices, the potential that a hacker could steal confidential information
also increases.
If there’s a bug in the system, it’s likely that every connected device will
become corrupted.
Since there’s no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it’s difficult for
devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other.
Enterprises may eventually have to deal with massive numbers maybe even
millions of IoT devices and collecting and managing the data from all those
devices will be challenging.
CHALLENGES OF IOT
Security − IoT creates an ecosystem of constantly connected
devices communicating over networks. The system offers little
control despite any security measures. This leaves users exposed to
various kinds of attackers.
Privacy − The sophistication of IoT provides substantial personal
data in extreme detail without the user's active participation.
Complexity − Some find IoT systems complicated in terms of
design, deployment, and maintenance given their use of multiple
technologies and a large set of new enabling technologies.
Flexibility − Many are concerned about the
flexibility of an IoT system to integrate easily with
another. They worry about finding themselves with
several conflicting or locking systems.
Compliance − IoT, like any other technology in
the realm of business, must comply with
regulations. Its complexity makes the issue of
compliance seem incredibly challenging when
many consider standard software compliance a
HOW DOES IT WORK?
An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use
embedded processors, sensors and communication hardware to collect,
send, and act on data they acquire from their environments. IoT
devices share the sensor data they collect by connecting to an IoT
gateway or another edge device where data is either sent to the cloud
to be analyzed or analyzed locally. Sometimes, these devices
communicate with other related devices and act on the information
they get from one another. The devices do most of the work without
human intervention, although people can interact with the devices. For
instance, to set them up, give them instructions or access 70 the data.
The connectivity, networking, and communication protocols used with
these web-enabled devices largely depend on the specific IoT
